Those who follow John Calvin,s terrible theory that some people are predestined for hell should realize that what is actually being said here is that God offers human sacrifice to the devil. Thus when I read this quote from Calvin
“there are babies a span long in hell.”
One must realize that John Calvin made some terrible mistakes in his thinking.

Allegory
used only in Gal. 4:24, where the apostle refers to the history of Isaac the free-born, and Ishmael the slave-born, and makes use of it allegorically. Every parable is an allegory. Nathan (2 Sam. 12:1-4) addresses David in an allegorical narrative. In the eightieth Psalm there is a beautiful allegory: “Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt,” etc. In Eccl. 12:2-6, there is a striking allegorical description of old age.

Did Ratzinger really say that? From your tagline?
